2024 for Pharma & Life Sciences: Thought Leaders, Tech and the willingness to evolve.

The festive spirit is in full swing in December, with lights illuminating every street. As we lose ourselves in these lights, it's natural to reflect on the ending year and wonder about the developments and growth possibilities 2024 holds.

There should be no hesitation in saying that Artificial Intelligence was the protagonist of this year, specifically Generative AI, with the introduction in our lives of a name we all know by now: #ChatGPT.

With the new year closing in, the time has come to take stock of the impacts these names had; from invading our social media, they became the topic of conversations and discussions on whether or not these technologies could pose as a great potential in companies’ processes.

Therefore, it’s safe to say technology and opportunities are there. The difference in 2024 will be driven by people and, more specifically, companies will see Decision Makers and Thought Leaders making the biggest impact. Their role might seem abstract at first glance, but it’s far from that: they will be called to the stand and guide #Pharma and #LifeScience companies in a digitally transformed era, boosted by new technologies like #AI. Before delving deeper into the topic, let’s briefly review the role these technologies will play next year.

Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI: what’s to come in 2024?

The answer is easily perceivable, but we should still specify that #AI and #GenerativeAI will not be a trend in 2024; truthfully, calling them as such is not realistic anymore. As a matter of fact, a recent research conducted by McKinsey states that Generative AI has the potential to generate between 2.6$ and 4.4$ trillion of dollars, bringing the impact of AI from 15% to 40%. Moreover, McKinsey identified and ranked the #LifeSciences industry among the top three “that could see the biggest impact as a percentage of their revenues from generative AI”. More precisely, the impact on revenue in the pharmaceutical industry is estimated to be around 60$ and 110$ billion dollars annually.

These numbers are promising, especially in a future where #technology and #digitalization will continue to drive #innovation, but the challenges to be faced are still complex and diverse.

The customer centric approach has already been embraced by companies; but knowing on which #touchpoints, or #content, efforts should be focused in order to create highly personalized, and consequently, effective interactions with HCPs, is increasingly challenging.

This is where Generative AI can truly make the difference in 2024. According to the same McKinsey research cited above, #Pharma and #LifeScience industries will benefit from a great impact in terms of #commercial and #marketing strategies: the perfect mix between the intrinsic #power of #AI to easily and promptly analyze vast amounts of #data, and #GenerativeAI capability of creating useful content based on scientific documentation, will enable teams to effectively interact with #HCPs, while achieving long-lasting relationships.

2024 will be the year of Thought Leaders!

#AI, especially #GenerativeAI, pushed us to the point where we questioned our #skills, due to the initial underling fear of being replaced by AI in our daily work activities.

Many have been the #ThoughtLeaders in #Pharma and #LifeSciences who found themselves in the midst of a challenge for their company: acquire new #skills and a new mentality which embraced the introduction of new technologies in their daily work. The alternative? Staying still, not only risking losing new #opportunities, but also positioning themselves as #followers rather than #leaders in the market.

Who are these #ThoughtLeaders and how can we identify them?

• They are the reference point: inside and outside their organization, they pose as the focal point of #innovation knowledge.
• They are true storytellers: their ability to captivate and let themselves be captivated by the possibilities of #technology is clear in their voices, bewitching those who listen.
• They are mindful: they know that simply implementing #AI in #commercial or #product strategies is not enough. In order to fully leverage its capabilities, you need to be familiar with it first.

This is not an easy matter. Acquiring skills in such a broad subject such as #AI, its applications and #data inevitably brings to light different and legitimate doubts. One of them being: “where do we even begin?”.
